THE BOOK, THE MESSAGE (THE QURAN)

The Book, The Message

(The Quran)

This Book is the Word of God and
it is appreciated more by many non-Muslims than by Muslims. They understood the
Message better while the claimers of the Quran (the Muslims) never bothered to
understand and put it to practice. One of such famous personalities was Dr.
S.D.Sharma.

Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, Ph.D, (19th August 1918
– 26th December 1999) was the 9th President of India,
serving from 1992 to 1997. Prior to his presidency, Sharma had been the 8th
Vice President of India, serving under R. Venkataraman. He was also Chief
Minister (1952–1956) of Bhopal, and Cabinet Minister (1956–1967), holding the
portfolios of Education, Law, Public Works, Industry and Commerce, National
Resources and Separate Revenue. He was the President of the Indian National
Congress (1972–1974) and returned to government as Union Minister for
Communications from 1974 to 1977.

The International Bar Association presented Sharma with the
‘Living Legends of Law’ Award of Recognition for his outstanding contribution
to the legal profession internationally and for commitment to the rule of law.

Sharma was born in Bhopal,
then the capital of the princely state of Bhopal.

This poem on the Holy Quran, written a few decades ago by Dr
Pandit Shanker Dayal Sharma, laments the attitude of Muslims and their
treatment of the Quran. It tells about the deplorable real-life practices of Muslims
with honesty, truth and sincerity.

The Book

Amal ki kitab thi.
Dua ki kitab bana dia

It was a command for action.
You turned it into a book of prayer.

Samajhne ki kitab thi.
Parhne ki kitab bana dia.

It was a Book to understand.
You read it without understanding.

Zindaon ka dastoor tha.
Murdon ka manshoor bana dia.

It was a code for the living.
You turned it into a manifesto of the dead.
